I think it's cool that Slipknot has a British guy in the band now, because one of their biggest fan bases in England. Plus Sid's family is from England. Good way to show some love.

[JudasAngel]

I have to admit when i found out this guy was british i was like “wait...but his name...”

[naruto]

Alex had really big shoes to fill being the replacement for Paul R.I.P and he has done really well and it seems that for the most part he has been welcomed with open arms by a lot of the maggots same with jay

[alfaman]

Alex wasn’t use to wearing masks when he performed so in his first slipknot gig he fainted from heat exhaustion and had to play the rest of the 2 shows behind stage on a chair. Fact

Nice clean simple rig. KISS, is a great principle to live by.

[meponk]

Cool vid. I hope more rig rundowns are coming!

[sixsentsoldiers]

Interested in knowing if the Orange Bass Butler has been inserted into this rig.

[fakienightmareflip]

I was he 420 thumbs up! Also more from V-man!

[shanethepain]

All the best things are from England ! ! !

👍😉

So, if he's already using 2 DI's and the cab isn't miced up, what is the use of these mesa heads ?

[LakkMetal]

Are there any interviews on how he got asked to be in SLIPKNOT ?

[bassimprovjams]

I can not stand a headless instrument lol seems like a cool guy tho, he had huge shoes to fill! Is he number 2 like Paul was or does he get a different number

[NoRMusic]

I just plug my bass into an amp and turn it up.

[PerezBroz-po]

Not gonna lie it makes me a little sad that stage cabs are phasing out even for a band like Slipknot

[ericvalverderosado]

I dont know why i think Alex is british hahaha

[mikepurkiss]

You know you wanna buy a torpedo and send me that mesa cab ;)))

[drkangel]

It’s cool setup and all. But I bet he could get away with just skipping all of that and go straight to head and out

[Aw]

Why in the entire fuck would you possibly need that many DIs? Why even have the mesa or the GK? It's so damn redundant

[regularguy]

Average band member height is 6'4. excluding corey and jay. Alessandro is 6'6, root is 6'4 and mick is

[KÖRV_Spadd]

Alex is better if you think about it! He has better tech.
